Grace Valentin

Therapist

Virtual • Clermont, FL


Life can change in an instant. Whether you’re navigating grief, anxiety, caregiver stress, burnout, a medical diagnosis, or a major life transition, you don’t have to face it alone. With experience in pediatric hospital social work, clinical leadership, and many other areas, I’ve supported individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult moments. I’m passionate about helping people move from simply surviving to truly living again.

If you’re looking for someone who will simply nod along, I may not be the right fit, and that’s okay. I believe growth comes from feeling both supported and challenged. I’ll listen with compassion, celebrate your strengths, and gently encourage you to face the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, empowered, and one step closer to the life you want.

I am an LCSW with a mission to untangle trauma and transform lives.

I've observed that many are unaware their struggles stem from unresolved childhood trauma. I focus on addressing core beliefs formed during these transformative years.

As I too struggled with unhealthy patterns of my past. Hitting rock bottom was my turning point. I immersed myself in retreats and inner child work, finding strength in spirituality. Healing myself and paying it forward to help others heal too.
